The Sgili Queens Podcast

We catch up on the latest news (or old news), talk about Children of the Selu, a podcast that’s creepy in all the right ways and dive into the legend of Stone Coat. Honestly, we spend half the time cracking up and the other half rambling. Classic SQ.

This week we’re slithering into the legend of Uktena, the horned serpent of Cherokee lore with a glowing crystal, a cursed past, and zero chill. This is a powerful tale passed down by our people, filled with transformation, danger, and deep symbolism.

We get into Uktena’s origins, why everyone wants that crystal (bad idea, btw), and how this story still hits today. Also: we recorded over Zoom, so if we sound a little weird… blame the Wi-Fi serpent.

In this episode of Sgili Queens, we dive into the  legendary tale of Red Horn—one of the most iconic figures in Ho-Chunk mythology.

So grab your earrings and get ready, Sgili Queens Besties—this one’s got heartthrob chaos energy written all over it.

A shadow moves in the night. Tall, thin, and always watching—he whispers to those who feel lost, luring them into darkness with promises of escape.

Is he just a story, or something far more real? His presence has been linked to real-life tragedies, making him one of the most chilling figures in Indigenous lore.
